Teen who chased brother’s gunman killer took own life
An inquest into the death of the older brother, Gavin McCarthy, aged 21, of Lower Oriel Street, Dublin 1, was held yesterday. He was standing outside an Indian takeaway on Lower Sherrif Street with a group of friends on October 19, 2008, when a gunman approached on a bicycle and fired four shots in quick succession.
Mr McCarthy was fatally wounded in the neck and lower leg and was pronounced dead at the Mater Hospital a short time later.
